Ten years after the first undergraduates completed their courses and left Sheffield University, the journalism department is marking its birthday with an anniversary bash on 2 June.

Senior lecturer Jonathan Foster said: "Former students are following careers across the media spectrum, from Fleet Street to the Far East and from travel writing to tipping winners on the turf.

But many have also found that journalism skills are eminently transferable, with Sheffield alumni including an investment banker, a hotel manager, a chef and a porn star.

"The reunion will be a gathering of reporters and subs," he added. "But almost as many have moved into PR work, an increasing number earn their wages from online publications and a substantial number have retrained as teachers."
